The Dionysian Diagnostic
The poem performs an autopsy, not an epiphany.
The Dionysian diagnostic.
What is needed is to know
how to live in the afterknowing.
When most poetry readers have lost the plot
(by clinging to it).
Is narrative a zero-sum game?
Constraint without a warden.
I measure the nothing with a rule of calamity.
Culture should be change, not chains.
To wake the sleepless sleepers.
It is time to reconsider our involvement.
The inability to stop refining the self
with more advanced forms of hedonic stimulation.
